[ckan-dev] Harvesting of organizations

Wed Aug 14 22:18:33 UTC 2013

i'm really interested in this capability. i would say with regard to
creating organizations automatically, might want to make it optional. the
underlying question, should a typo in a name cause a new org to be created?

Hi there,

I'm planning to implement the harvesting of organizations in the
ckanext-harvest extension. As the harvesting of groups (using the
remote_groups config option) is already implemented, I guess this shouldn't
be that hard.

In the current code all I found was this:

# Ignore remote orgs for the time being
package_dict.pop('owner_org', None)

Are there already thoughts about this topic? Currently I'm planning to just
create the organizations that are not yet there and assign all datasets to
their corresponding owner organization (very similar to the implementation
of the remote_groups). The purpose is not to copy users/permissions etc.
but to simply allow all data owners to see their datasets at a glance on
the central instance and provide the functionality to filter datasets of an
organization.

What do you think?

Regards Stefan
